The Institute of Civil Engineering Construction of the Faculty of Engineering Science at Universidad Austral de Chile (UACh, Chile) invites applications for two faculty positions. The areas of specific interest are:
Soil Mechanics, Geotechnics and Foundation Engineering (E-138 2022)
Reinforced Concrete Design or Design of Steel / Timber Structures (E-1372022)
Applicants must have a PhD (doctorate degree). Post open until February 28, 2023.
I am an undergraduate student conducting a research project involving the design of a tool to aid astronauts to perform experiments on lunar surfaces and would like to request some direction about which analytical tools would be best suited for this application (i.e. FEA or DEM software/techniques). The specific scenario of interest is to design a tool that can act as an anchor in a sand-like medium (regolith) on the surface of the moon.
Applications are invited for a 2 year Postdoctoral Fellow in Dr. Andrew Bunger's group at the University of Pittsburgh Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. The group conducts research in geomechanics with an emphasis on mechanics of hydraulic fractures and poromechanics of rocks.
A Postdoc position on “Risk-based Selection of Constitutive Models for Geotechnical Analysis” is open at Ecole Centrale de Nantes in France. Fore more details, see the attached pdf file.
I am trying to model the soil churning action of a rotary tiller trough soil structure interaction. Based on some published articles, DEM and SPH approach both have been used to model the tool interaction with the soil. I am little confused in the selection of the appraoch. Can somebody throw some light on advantages and disadvantages of one approach over another and which approach should be chosen for more realistic results.

I just start my research on bounding surface model for soil mechanics. Does someone have documents about programming of bounding surface model for stress-strain behaviour with a piece of program? Thanks a lot for your help.
